Galaxy S24 eSIM availability
The Galaxy S24 series — S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra — supports eSIM in the UK, EU, US, Canada, Australia, and most Asian markets. A small number of countries (mainly China and Hong Kong) ship Galaxy S24 variants without eSIM, instead offering dual physical SIM. If you bought your phone in the UK, EU, or US, you definitely have eSIM support — check Settings → Connections → SIM manager to confirm you see an Add eSIM option.
Installing an Aria Mobile eSIM on Galaxy S24
Open Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM. You can scan a QR code from a second screen or tap 'Enter manually' for the activation code. The S24 takes about 30 seconds to provision the profile. Once installed, name the line (for example 'Travel') and set it as your Mobile Data SIM under SIM manager. Turn Data Roaming on for the travel line only.
Dual SIM behaviour on Galaxy S24
The S24 series supports Dual SIM Dual Standby — both your physical SIM and the eSIM can receive calls and texts simultaneously, but only one is the active data line at a time. You can switch the data SIM on the fly via the quick-settings tile. Most travellers leave the home SIM active for calls/SMS and route data over the Aria Mobile eSIM to avoid roaming fees.
People also ask
- Can I have two eSIMs active at the same time?
Yes. Modern iPhones (XS and later) and most flagship Androids let you store many eSIM profiles and have two active at once — typically your home line plus a travel eSIM. Calls and texts route through whichever line you choose as default, while data can be set to use the cheaper travel eSIM automatically.
- Is my phone eSIM compatible?
Almost every flagship phone released since late 2018 supports eSIM. That includes all iPhones from XS onward, Google Pixel 3 and later, and Samsung Galaxy S20-and-newer plus the Z Fold and Z Flip ranges. The other requirement is that the phone is unlocked to other networks — most UK contract phones are unlocked by default since 2021.
- How do I install an eSIM on my phone?
Installing an A.R.I.A Mobile eSIM takes about a minute over Wi-Fi. Open the install email or order page on a second screen, then on your phone go to Settings → Mobile Data → Add eSIM (iOS) or Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM (Android), scan the QR code, name the plan and you're done. Enable data roaming on the new line so it can connect abroad.
- Does the Google Pixel 8 support eSIM?
Yes — the Google Pixel 8, 8 Pro, and 8a all support eSIM globally, including in the UK and EU. Pixel 8 runs Dual SIM with one physical nano-SIM plus multiple stored eSIMs. Aria Mobile eSIMs install in under a minute via the Settings → Network & internet → SIMs menu by scanning a QR code or pasting an activation string.
